Apparantly the guy from whom my mother bought my Stop The Cascadia Megathrust
Subduction Event T-shirt (see /pix/1999/misc/) was predicting the Cascadia Megathrust Subduction
Event for the end of last year. He wrote a letter to the Sequim Gazette (forwarded to my mother by my great-aunt, forwarded to me by my mother)
explaining why no Cascadia Megathrust Subduction event had occured.
Surprisingly, the explanation was not that we had successfully Stopped
it. The explanation is that high atmospheric pressure had temporarily
deterred the Cascadia Megathrust Subduction Event, but that it
was still coming, mark you.

If I were this guy I would cut my losses and
move onto something else, like model ships, but I don't have the emotional investment
in the subject that he does. If I were to devise and implement a plan to
actually Stop the Cascadia Megathrust Subduction Event once and for all, he'd probably
punch me in the face.
